WICHITA'S TAX LESS THAN HALF
ANY OTHER CITY IN KANSAS.

Ii there is any one thing more than an
other which Is going to add to the name
and fame. to the standing and desirableness
of Wichita. and that which Is making he,
the great objective point of capitalists and
investors, 1t is the fact that the city has nc
Indebtedness worth naming and that the
rate of taxation In this city is the lowest of
not only any city in Kansas by nearly one
half, but that 1t is lower than that of any
city In the west Outside of public school
buildings, number of which have been
paid for, none of the vast and valuable i'm
provements of the city cost the taxpayer,
as such, one cent. No bonds have ever
been issued for street improvements, for
street railways, for water, or for gas or
electrical works, nor for extraordinary ex.
penses or improvements of any character.
While our property and business have gone
on improving at an astonishing rate, the
cash down has been the rule for meeting
the expenses of improvements of every
character. The result is that Wichita this
year will have the lowest taxation and the
largest tax roll of any city in the state of
Kansas. While other cities all over the
country are going deeper and deeper in
debt every year. Wichita is not only keep.
ing entirely free from debt, but reducing
her tax levy as regularly as the year rolls
around, until our rate for 1887 Is only
from one third to one half of that of other
cities in Kansas.

MORE VIM WANTED.

Wichita people surpass those Of all other
cities In the west in knowing how to boom
their city Tacoma would do well to take
lesson from the peerless princess" of
Kansas city that in 1882 contained 5, TO
people and now numbers over 80, 600 in
habitants. Some time ago the Burton
Stock Car company, an organization which
will employ 1, 800 men, with buildings and
track TO occupy twenty seven acres of
land, made bid for a location in Wichita.
The energetic people of that wonderful
city jumped at the chance of getting such
an extensive mandatory in their
midst Both the north side and
south side people endeavored to secure the
prize. The former won by offering five
hundred and fifty acres of land one hun
dred lots and $21 900 In hard cash. The
south side bid was four hundred and fifty
acres of land, one hundred lots and 81 900
In cash. This location is four miles from
the center of the city. The entire plant of
this vast establishment Is to cost $500, 600
Such determined people cannot fail to
make an impression wherever they may
so. An influx of just such Wichita folks
into Tacoma would put this city ten years
ahead Of its present status.-Tacoma (W

The compliment to Wichita and WITCH
itans contained In the foregoing stimulus
TO the citizens of the striving young city of
the far northwest is appreciated. Such ar
ticles will do infinitely more to stimulate a
spirit of enterprise and goaheaditiveness In
people than volumes of utilization and
misrepresentation, such as seems to constitute
the stock in trade of some persons. far and
near whenever they have occasion to refer
to Wichita. OF course such despicable
acts do not injure Wichita, neither do they
benefit those who indulge in them, nor
their towns. An individual or business or
town that depends upon the downfall Of
another can never hope TO enjoy long con-
anued prosperity. We commend the ex-
ample of our esteemed Tacoma contempt
rary TO whomsoever.

The leaders Of the Henry George party
in their meeting at Syracuse displayed
some adroitness as political tricksters As
sort of sugar coating to their nauseating
dose of communism or anarchism they
make demands for more stringent laws tina,
shall put an end to the gross injustice com
mitted against the people by railroad cor.
porations. They also declare in favor OF
''the eight hour system, woman equality,
extending the school age in children from
IA to 16 years, for secret ballot, the pro-
hibition of the employment of armed de
tectives, and denounces class legislation. "
There is nothing original or striking In
their pronunciamento; it is given out, as
we said, to disguise the true inwardness OF
the designs of the leaders of the movemen,
with the hope of drawing to it the unwary
among the classes specially interested in
the matters enumerated; In other words, i,
Is an appeal to the prejudices of the un

A little financial meeting will be held
during one OF the days, fJr which 1t viii
be we'll TO begin to plan.
The walls of the fine Wichita building

just to see this investment that their bust
ness men have made.
Inere Will be no excursions and no time
for sight seeing, but an opportunity of a
life time to meet the Lord face to face; get
The heart right and do personal Gospel
work among the young men of the city.
What young man In Kansas, in love with

hour having good time when he might
help to save man?
A Sunday morning conservation meeting,
a Gospel meeting in the afternoon, and the
great farewell meeting at night will be held
In the usual manner, but with increased
and enthusiasm. You cannot

THE CITY OF WICHITA, KANSAS.
The Great Central State to Have q City
of Her Own.

From the New York Financier OF August r.
The following very comprehensive and
truthful ar ticle is clipped from the New
York Financier, leading financial organ
of Wall street, which is commended to cur
readers:
Among the many western towns which
have recently sprung into prominence,
none have made such rapid strides In the
past two years as Wichita. Three wears
ago Wichita was an obscure town-scarce-
ly known, outside of the state of Kansas,
as having an existence. Today it is the
railroad and commercial center of the state
of Kansas, and Is the largest city in the
state. The growth of Wichita Is shown by
the following table based on the census ne.
furns for each voar.

however, she received from Paris six white
muslin dresses of the finest material and
the most youthful style. By such delicate
and practical method did the gallant Hum

After exhausting itself In attempting to
explain away the cause of the heavy losses
the Democrats sustained In the recent cleo
ton in Kentucky, the Courier Journal Is
constrained to make the following frank
admission in regard to the condition OF
political sentiment and future outlook in
that state:
There is no sort of question that Repub
lican sentiment is growing in the mountain
counties. 1t is highly probable that the
next congressional delegation from this
state will include four Republicans II
such a calamity should befall Kentucky it
will be due, In large measure, to the
question of Federal aid TO education. The
people in the mountains generally favor
Federal aid. The appropriation made by
the state for the benefit of the public
schools is entirely inadequate. and the com.
munities are, as rule, too poor TO supple
NE nj the state fund by local taxation.
